CAD Deals Drawings Modeling 
NH Construction Law
OCTOBER 1, 2022
Over the past decade, Building Information Modeling (“BIM”) – computerized 3D portrayal of integrated building elements that allows a project or project subset to be built virtually before being built in the field – has become prolific in commercial construction. This is not your father’s CAD system.

Fluency is probably below 1% of all the people that work in the AEC industry and deal with its information day in and out. The new generation of 20 somethings (and younger) in training or about to enter the AEC, are taught that documenting building is about creating drawings. A language that its host industry does not speak.

Can you relate to the sentence:" we'll give you CAD files so that SHOULD reduce your work by half"? It used to be present when flatCAD drawings were the norm. Savy CAD managers learned to deal with these issues and many company manuals had systems and processes in place. Roll in model based building information!

There is a code on the structural drawing that can be tracked to the schedule and the dimensions are noted. Then comes the eager BIM modeller and screams with joy as she overlays the see-through plans on her digital light-table: A discrepancy! The structural engineer sizes the concrete column; the architect places it in the space.

And I mean, everything, getting IFC drawings, as-builts, shop-drawings, or magical, know it all 3-7D (+) models. Then, likely the pieces will be designed by a specialist subcontractor, who will prepare connection shop drawings for someone to approve. That sentence I just wrote, is a mouthful, but do read it again.

For some reason BIM authors (architects, engineers, etc) think that because they create the initial BIM information they have the right to full control and to charge for the BIM model throughout the life of the building. The architect doesn’t model ductwork, they use the mechanical engineer’s model.

I also accept, that the internet made the numbers of applicants these guys must deal with almost impossible to handle, but I refuse to agree to have millions of unemployed treated as idiots because of this. It is just the luck of a draw – might as well buy a lotto ticket instead”.
